You gotta hate it when you work a hard stressful day and look forward to climbing on your bike and taking a ride home only to find that your bike has been rapped of your saddlebags. Parked in the garage on the second floor next to the stairs and the elevator middle of the day. This is also patrolled by security. ARGGGG! Anyway I ask you fellow bikers if you have any recommendations to replace them , what to look out for etc. How to prent it from happening again. 2011 RK. FLHR

Well that sux, maybe get insurance to help, but there are lock kits available for the lids and bag to bike,
I have a RKC and replaced the quick releases with Allen bolts and nylon lock nuts, then installed OEM
lid locks, just to slow them down a little.

I just hate a thief.

Perhaps the perp will get caught and you will have some justice.

Bummer. Did you call the cops? There may be a security video that will show the theft.
